Fha Loan in Collin County in Texas, $200,00 home, how much do I need at closing?
Bottom line please! There are three categories of monies out of your pocket that you will pay for at closing. Those categories are:
1. Down-payment for a conventional loan is 3.5%, which is $7,000.
The down-payment on FHA loans could be anywhere between 3.50 to 25% of the sales price. The down-payment will be decided on your credit and how much money you have.
2. Closing Costs are generally around 2%, which is $4,000
The closing costs could be 0-5% of the sales price and are divided into two subsets. Those subsets are loan originating costs and third party fees. Loan originating costs are points, processing fee, administration fee, and/ or origination fee. Third party fees include home inspection, title insurance, appraisal fee, and/ or attorney fees. This is not a comprehensive list of closing costs and will vary between lenders and states.
3. Taxes are $1,251 and insurance is $333.
Property taxes are assessed by your county, city, community college, and school district. If you escrow, your lender will collect 3-7 months depending on what month of the year you close. In Collin County, the property taxes are around 2.5% of sales price or $5,000 for a $200,000 home. $5000 divided by 12 equals $417. If three months are collected it would be $1,251.
The homeowners insurance policy will protect your home in case of a fire or other hazards. The hazard insurance policy could be .5-1.5% of the sales price. Assuming 1%, the insurance would be $2,000. At closing you must prepay one year. If you escrow, the lender will usually collect 2 months. The two months is calculated at $2,000 divided by 12 then multiplied by 2 which equals $333 approximately.
